B. Hindus donate land to make a way to Masjid in Faizabad

A unique example of communal harmony and peaceful co-existence came up, as Hindus gave away land to make way for a mosque in village Thawaipur, distt. Sant Kabirnagar, which is just 150 KM away from Ayodhya’s disputed site of Ram janmbhoomi/Babri Masjid. The mosque was built in 1963 and since then the Muslim community would reach the mosque crossing vacant pieces of land. As population of the village increased, owners of many of those plots erected boundary walls, leading to closure of the path leading to the Masjid. With the effort of Gram Pardhan (a Hindu lady), a 100 metre long path for the Masjid was constructed on the land donated by four Hindus.
